How did I get here?
Yeah, partially @Mark Wein 's fault for posting that Strat vid recently cop0
I had tried these on at least three different occasions and wrote them off as too quiet and, frankly, not sounding so great. When you cranked them up, they would rattle/vibrate pretty badly IMO.
Little did I know that if I spent some time with one in a quieter room, and tweaked it a bit differently than a "real" amp, that I would find some really good tones that were not too loud, but still loud enough to hear in the room without getting told to turn it down by the Mrs.:
Yup .
Had it for a week now, and I LOVE it for playing upstairs in the living room (ironically, when I do and the wife is downstairs, she comments on how good it sounds ). I already set up some presets using the PC editor, and dialed in the awesome room reverb effect. I have everything set from a cleanish, DR patch to a Satriani-type lead (the "mini Z" model on this thing kills).
Looks like Yamaha is also answering the prayers of the THR fans that would like something a bit more robust: they are announcing something new in October.
So, now that the living/family room amp is settled, something similar for the basement area stirthepot
